“27 about to turn a year older, have been perpetually single”. Sounds like the most inviting tag line for every one you know to suggest girls they know for marriage. Is getting married really necessary? Having the ideal family match is more important than the ppl involved? Do people really tell the truth when they meet someone through a matrimonial ad? Do our parents know what we really are? ,Specially folks who have lived away from home for nearly a decade.
I have a million such questions and no answers. As I look at myself and try to bump across the coming few months where the severity of these issues will quadruple I don’t know what the outcome will be. All I want is to meet someone without the eventual idea of marriage. And the reply to this is you should have found a gf. Well for some people its really easy to make frnds but really hard to go the extra mile. My only real relationship was when I was 17 and hardly lasted for a few months. Post I have met some amazing friends but none more than that. Am to be blamed I guess to an extent. If I was so afraid of an arranged marriage I should have went out on a limb to “find love”.
Dating in India is interesting there is nothing casual about it. You just cant ask that nice girl out for a coffee and then take things forward. In the last few months most of my friends have taken the plunge which accelerates the issue. The statistics are out there to see. What is visible is that marriage is an integral part of life in India not only for the kids but for parents too. The entire social fabric does not support the idea of being a bachelor and waiting till eternity for that perfect match. It’s all about the age and the cutoff limits.
If the social fabric is like this it has to be upon us to create avenues where sane people who are single and feel that they would like to more about a person they wanna spend the rest of their life with rather than just a SMS meet. Do I want a dating portal for single nearing 30 I guess I do…….
